Finally, a year after moving in, I've started unpacking the contents of my closet from storage. The piles have been sorted - hang, vacuum pack, eBay and bin - and I'm starting to see some room for improvement. Plethora of leopard print jackets and new Versace x H&M bomber aside, my outerwear choices (mainly parkas in a variety of colours, lengths, weights and ages) need an oomph so I'm thinking cruelty free glamour with big, warm, faux furs and, on an altogether parkier note, it's also time to revamp the knicker drawer. So, this weekend's shopping list brings you a selection of the best fun fur coats and jackets alongside some of the coolest underwear out there.

I won't bore you with too many of the trend details here - let's face it, most of you will just want to look at the pictures - suffice to say that faux fur is where it's at for responsible winter chic with labels from the hautest designers to the ends of the High Street producing versions that range from the 'It looks real, I'm sure it's real, that can't be a fake' to cuddly teddy bear fun. And, on an underwear tip, you can all see for yourself that Mad Men / Pan Am style retro undies with long line bras and big knickers are back back back (see: Cheap Monday, Tracey Boyd for John Lewis, Jasper Conran's Debenhams line etc), as are bodies - at least thanks to the popularity of jumpsuits and onesies we're all used to the longer loo time already - lovely lace and bold, graphic styles, be it Wolford's Bonny spots, Ell & Cee's Jezebel detailing or the chunky black outlines of Dirty Pretty Things' in your face Metallic Flash range.

These pics are quite small so for a closer look at the underwear below, click here to check out the album 'Awesome Undies' on my Facebook page (feel free to give it a Like while you're there too!).
